ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Although studies have examined the relationship between variables associated with active aging and quality of life (QoL), no studies have been identified to have investigated the effect of a structural model of active aging on QoL in a representative sample of older people in the community. OBJECTIVE: To measure the domains and facets of QoL in older people and identify the effect of the structural model of active aging on the self-assessment of QoL. DESIGN AND SETTING: This cross-sectional analytical study included 957 older people living in urban areas. Data were collected from households using validated instruments between March and June 2018. Descriptive, confirmatory factor, and structural equation modeling analyses were performed. RESULTS: Most older people self-rated their QoL as good (58.7%), and the highest mean scores were for the social relationships domain (70.12 ± 15.4) and the death and dying facet (75.43 ± 26.7). In contrast, the lowest mean scores were for the physical domains (64.41 ± 17.1) and social participation (67.20 ± 16.2) facets. It was found that active aging explained 50% of the variation in self-assessed QoL and directly and positively affected this outcome (λ = 0.70; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Active aging had a direct and positive effect on the self-assessment of QoL, indicating that the more individuals actively aged, the better the self-assessment of QoL.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Increased longevity is accompanied by new social and health demands, such as the race/color social construct, indicating the need to identify the specific needs of older adults to maintain and improve their quality of life. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to verify the direct and indirect associations of demographic, economic, and biopsychosocial characteristics with self-assessed quality of life in older adults according to race/color. DESIGN AND SETTING: This cross-sectional study included 941 older adults living in the urban area of a health microregion in Minas Gerais, Brazil. METHODS: Older adults were divided into three groups: white (n = 585), brown (n = 238), and black (n = 102) race/color. Descriptive and trajectory analyses were performed (P < 0.05). RESULTS: Among the three groups, worse self-assessed quality of life was directly associated with lower social support scores and greater numbers of depressive symptoms. Worse self-assessed quality of life was also directly associated with a higher number of functional disabilities in basic activities of daily living and the absence of a partner among older adults of brown and black race/color. Lower monthly income and higher numbers of morbidities and compromised components of the frailty phenotype were observed among participants of white race/color, as well as lower levels of education in the brown race/color group. CONCLUSION: Factors associated with poorer self-assessed quality of life among older adults in the study community differed according to race/color.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The scientific literature has shown that an association between polypharmacy and frailty exists. However, few studies have also considered drug interactions and the use of potentially inappropriate medications. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between the use of drugs and frailty among community-dwelling older people. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study carried out among 580 older people in Uberaba (MG). METHODS: Data were collected at these older people's homes using instruments validated in Brazil. Descriptive, bivariate and binary logistic regression analyses were performed (P < 0.05). RESULTS: Most of these individuals were classified as pre-frail (55.7%), while 13.1% were frail. It was found that 31.7% of them presented polypharmacy, 41.7% had drug interactions and 43.8% were using potentially inappropriate medications. In the initial model, polypharmacy (odds ratio, OR = 1.91; confidence interval, CI = 1.27-2.86) and use of potentially inappropriate medications (OR = 2.45; CI = 1.68-3.57) increased the chance that these older people would be pre-frail or frail. In the final adjusted model, use of potentially inappropriate drugs remained associated with the outcome (OR = 2.26; CI = 1.43-3.57). CONCLUSION: Use of potentially inappropriate medications was the independent variable that explained the occurrence of frailty in a representative sample of community-dwelling older adults.

Introduction: Physical activity and sedentary behavior are emerging issues in public health, especially in developing countries. Objective: To verify transition and factors related to physical activity combined with sedentary behavior among the elderly followed for 24 months. Materials and methods: We conducted a longitudinal observational study with people aged 60 years or over living in the urban area of Uberaba, Brazil. We collected the data from sociodemographic, health, and physical tests in 2014 and 2016 using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Katz Index, the Lawton and Brody Scale, the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). For the combined evaluation we considered a cutoff point of 150 minutes of physical activity per week and the percentile 75 (420 minutes/day) for sedentary behavior constituting the groups: Unsatisfactory (insufficient sum of physical activity and sedentary behavior), intermediate (loss of only one of the two components) and satisfactory (sufficient sum of physical activity and sedentary behavior). The statistical descriptive and inferential analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences™, version 21.0, considering p

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Frailty among elderly people is associated with negative health outcomes. Through gaining better understanding of this syndrome over different time periods, healthcare actions that take predictive factors into consideration may be facilitated. OBJECTIVE: To identify factors associated with frailty syndrome among community-dwelling elderly people over a two-year follow-up. DESIGN AND SETTING: Longitudinal study on elderly people living in Uberaba (MG), Brazil. Methods: Elderly individuals were selected through multiple-stage conglomerate sampling from a national database. Participants were interviewed and evaluated in 2014 and again in 2016. Predictors were considered at the baseline, and frailty categories (frail, pre-frail or non-frail) at the follow-up. Frailty was identified based on the Fried criteria. Associations with socioeconomic factors, health status and physical performance were investigated using multinomial logistic regression. RESULTS: 353 individuals participated in both assessments. The final model showed that age over 80 years was predictive of both pre-frailty and frailty (odds ratio, OR 4.92; 95% confidence interval, CI: 1.57-15.38; OR 8.64; 95% CI: 2.05-36.35, respectively), while dependency regarding basic activities of daily living (OR 3.66; 95% CI: 1.22-11.02) and poor lower-limb physical performance (OR 7.87; 95% CI: 1.97-31.39) predicted frailty. A one-unit increased score for advanced activities of daily living decreased the frailty rate by 15% (OR 0.85; 95% CI: 0.74-0.99). CONCLUSION: Age over 80 years was predictive of pre-frailty and frailty, while dependency in basic activities of daily living and poor physical performance predicted frailty. A one-unit increased score for advanced activities of daily living decreased the frailty rate by 15%.

Introdução: Os indicadores de qualidades são aspectos importantes na gestão dos serviços. No entanto, na atenção primária, há escassez de indicadores especificamente no que concerne à população idosa. Objetivo: Construir e validar indicadores de processo da qualidade da assistência de enfermagem ao idoso. Métodos: Trata-se de uma pesquisa metodológica, sendo as etapas baseadas nas propostas da National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators e da Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Os indicadores foram avaliados segundo os critérios de: validade de face, terminologia, necessidade, validade de conteúdo, confiabilidade, viabilidade, utilidade e usabilidade. Participaram do painel de especialistas nove enfermeiros sendo profissionais que prestavam assistência na atenção primária, pesquisadores na área de atenção à saúde do idoso e membros de organizações brasileiras relacionadas à saúde. Foi utilizado o Método de Adequação desenvolvido pela Research and Development da University of California Los Angeles. Os dados foram analisados por meio da mediana, Índice de Validade de Conteúdo e Kappa. Resultados: Foram validados 22 indicadores. Todas as medidas foram consideradas apropriadas, com validade de conteúdo e obtiveram acordo acerca da terminologia e necessidade. Dentre os 22 indicadores, apenas quatro foram avaliados como não disponíveis e não viáveis para serem coletados. Treze indicadores não foram considerados úteis para determinar o recebimento de incentivos financeiros. Na avaliação sobre a usabilidade para comparar os relatórios públicos, seis indicadores obtiveram pontuação relativamente baixa. Conclusão: Os indicadores podem contribuir para o monitoramento da qualidade da assistência ao idoso, identificando oportunidades de melhoria nas ações realizadas pelo enfermeiro na atenção primária.

Abstract Background Research on quality of life QOL is limited in Brazil and few studies have examined the association between smoking status and quality of life. This study addresses this gap and also examines the association between smoking, nicotine dependence, and duration of smoking cessation on (QOL) among older adults in an urban area in Brazil. Methods Data are from a household survey conducted in urban areas of Uberaba, Brazil, in 2012 (n = 980). Multivariable linear regressions were used to evaluate the association between smoking, nicotine dependence based on Fageström test, and smoking cessation on the World Health Organization Quality of Life WHOQOL-BREF and Quality of Life Assessment for Older Adults WHOQOL-OLD. Results The mean age of older adults in the study was 74.0 (SD = 6.9 years) and 64% of participants were women. The majority, 55% had never smoked, 12.4% were current smokers, and 32.7% were past-smokers. Current smokers had lower scores for social participation (β = − 2.6) and intimacy (β = − 3.8) than never smokers. Smokers with high or very high dependence reported higher levels of fear and concern about death and pain before death than those with low or very low dependence (β = − 10.6). However, smokers with medium levels of nicotine dependence had higher scores on social relationship. Longer cessation time was positively associated with higher scores for psychological health. Conclusions Except for the positive association between medium levels of nicotine dependence and better social relationships, smoking and higher levels of nicotine dependence were associated with worse QOL among older adults in Brazil. Nonetheless, smoking cessation had positive effects in QOL. Campaigns targeting older adults should point to the negative impact of tobacco use on QOL and the benefits of smoking cessation.

RESUMO Introdução: o Brasil vivencia acelerado processo de envelhecimento populacional. Mediante as angústias advindas do envelhecimento, religiosidade/espiritualidade (R/E) ocupam lugar de destaque na vida de pessoas idosas. Objetivo: verificar a associação das variáveis sociodemográficas, econômicas e de saúde com as dimensões de religiosidade e espiritualidade. Metodologia: estudo transversal realizado por inquérito domiciliar com 643 idosos comunitários. Os instrumentos utilizados foram: miniexame do estado mental; caracterização dos dados sociodemográficos, econômicos e de saúde; medida multidimensional breve de religiosidade e espiritualidade. Foram realizadas análise descritiva e regressão linear múltipla com sete preditores: sexo, idade, escolaridade, estado conjugal, renda, número de doenças e percepção de saúde. Resultados: predominaram sexo feminino, 60├69 anos, estado conjugal casados, 1├4 anos de estudo e renda mensal de um salário mínimo. Relativamente à percepção de saúde, 39,8% informaram regular, 81,5% relataram duas ou mais doenças. Em todas as dimensões de religiosidade/espiritualidade (experiências espirituais diárias; valores/crenças; perdão; práticas religiosas particulares; superação religiosa; suporte religioso; religiosidade organizacional; autoavaliação global), o preditor sexo foi estatisticamente significativo. Em nenhuma das dimensões a renda foi estatisticamente significativa. Em quatro dimensões esteve presente o estado conjugal. Em duas dimensões a idade influenciou. Em três dimensões a escolaridade esteve associada de forma inversa. Em apenas uma dimensão o número de doenças impactou e em duas dimensões a percepção de saúde influenciou. Conclusão: foi possível perceber que todas as dimensões de religiosidade/ espiritualidade foram influenciadas pelo sexo. Além disso, todos os preditores, exceto renda, estão associados a pelo menos uma dimensão de religiosidade/espiritualidade.

Objectives: To verify the frequency of functional independence among elderly people aged 80 or over and identify the factors associated with their functional independence.Methodology: Cross-sectional study with 174 elderly people aged 80 or over living in the urban area of Minas Gerais conducted from June 2017 to June 2018. Multistage cluster sampling was used for the selection of the population. Descriptive, bivariate and multiple logistic regression analyzes were performed (p≤0.05).Results: Most participants were female individuals (67.8%), with five or more self-reported morbidities (62.6%), without symptoms of depression (74.7%) and 85.6% could perform basic activities of daily living independently. Functional independence in basic activities of daily living (ADL) was associated with lack of symptoms of depression (p = 0.046) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) were associated with housing arrangement (p = 0.045).Conclusion:Identification of the factors associated with the functional independence of elderlyindividuals aged 80 years or over contributes to improve the planning of nursing care for these individuals, in order to reduce or delay their dependence.

ABSTRACT Objective: To verify the occurrence and factors associated to social, individual and programmatic vulnerability among older adults. Method: A household and cross-sectional survey conducted with 701 community-dwelling older adults. For evaluation of the individual component, we used the frailty phenotype; for the social component, the social vulnerability index was implemented; and for the programmatic component, the Index of access and use of health services. Descriptive and bivariate statistical analyzes and multinomial logistic regression were also carried out (p≤ 0.05). Results: It was verified that 15.7% of the older adults lived in areas of high social vulnerability, 31.8% were physically frail and had a moderate programmatic vulnerability score. Older people of a lower age, having lower education and income levels were more likely to live in areas of high or very high social vulnerability. The female gender and the high age groups increased the chances of the frailty condition. It was also observed that the older adults in the 70├ 80-year age group and having lower education were more likely to have medium programmatic vulnerability. Conclusion: The importance of primary care professionals to consider the multidimensional aspect of vulnerability in identifying older adults who need to be prioritized in health care is evidenced.

Current analysis compares the number of morbidities and the quality of life (QoL) of elderly males in urban and rural areas. The comparative, transversal and observational survey harvested data from the semi-structured instruments WHOQOL-BREF and WHOQOL-OLD. Descriptive analysis, chi-square and Student's t test (α < 0.05) were employed. The average number of co-morbidities in urban areas was significantly higher than that in the rural one. The elderly in rural areas have significantly higher QoL scores in physical, psychological, social relationships and environment and in stances such as autonomy, past, present and future activities, social participation and intimacy. In urban areas, scores were higher in sensory abilities. Current study highlights the need for health strategies to improve the QoL of the elderly in urban areas. Actions are required in rural areas to assess the functioning of the senses for early corrective measures.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The physical, emotional and cognitive limitations that may be present in the aging process, coupled with family unpreparedness, may lead to greater dependence among the elderly. This favors development of frailty syndrome and greater levels of violence against the elderly. The objective here was to analyze the association between violence against the elderly and frailty; and the geographic distribution of violence against the elderly according to the presence of frailty syndrome. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study on 705 community-dwelling elderly people in Uberaba (MG), Brazil. METHODS: The Fried frailty phenotype and conflict tactics scale were used. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the chi-square test and a logistic regression model. The intensity of the events and the relationship between clusters of violence and frailty status were assessed by means of kernel estimation. RESULTS: The adjusted analysis indicated that pre-frailty and frailty were associated with physical and verbal aggression (odds ratio, OR = 1.51; 95% confidence interval, CI: 1.04-2.19; OR = 2.12; 95% CI: 1.29-3.47), frailty was associated with physical aggression (OR = 2.48; 95% CI: 1.25-4.94) and pre-frailty and frailty were associated with verbal aggression (OR = 1.48; 95% CI: 1.03-2.15; OR = 2.15; 95% CI: 1.31-3.52), respectively. Regardless of frailty status and its relationship with violence, clusters of occurrences were larger in similar regions in the southeastern part of the municipality; but superimposition of overlays relating to aggression showed that for frail individuals the clusters were smaller than for non-frail and pre-frail individuals. CONCLUSIONS: The condition of frailty was associated with greater chances of violence against the elderly.
